Other Half Brewing Thread (August 2015)

It's official! Wish there was another single-hop instead of GD, but I can't complain. As usual, I don't know how much to get. Thoughts on how long these beers hold up? Six weeks? Longer?

 

Agreed on the single hop. Both are such big beers, can't wait till Saturday.

 

So these will definitely be gone by 6?

 

If anyone is generous enough, I'd be willing to paypal/trade for a 4 pack of each. I'll be flying in Sunday afternoon. PM if willing and we can talk potential details.

 

I bet GD lasts to the next day and AGE is there for a while, totally unlike the first AGE canning (what's this, our 4th AGE can release?) when it was gone after an hour and a half.

 

AGE lasted a few days last release if I'm not mistaken.

 

what's the best parking advice for this? im traveling from NJ to BK.

I had AGE about three weeks after canning, and liked it better than when I had it day of. But that could be many things at work. 6 weeks is stretching it IMHO, but I don't see why 3-4 would be an issue.

Metered Street Parking on Court St isn't usually too bad, hour limit though.

 

AGE is perfectly fine at 6 weeks old.

 

Good day of canning. GD is tasting extra tropical fruity. AGE is tasting great as well.

 

music to my ears

 

Drinking a GD as we speak and I thought it was in my head BUT was thinking I like it even better with a few weeks on it.

That said, I absolutely love their single hop releases, they don't get enough hype. (Fine by me)

 

Here's what I do...go early, there's usually somewhere to park within a couple of blocks its never been a problem. Don't park in mcdonalds, that's a douche move.
Enjoy the day

 

How's it looking out there? Aiming for a 11-11:30 arrival.

 

No can line now

 

No line at all.

 

I'll be surprised if they sell out today.
That fooodre jooose is gwwweddd

 

Plenty of cans left. Not too crowded.

 

Plenty of GD left but all green sold out right before I got here. Blown.
